Understanding Neurodevelopment In Preterm children utilising MRI

早产儿更有可能因出生时大脑发育异常或受伤而导致运动，学习和行为困难。该项目将有助于使用MRI识别早产儿常见的大脑变化，以及这些异常的原因和后果。理想情况下，这项研究将有助于卫生专业人员预防异常和伤害，或早期干预以减少早产的不良影响。

Children born very preterm are more likely to have movement, learning and behavioural difficulties resulting from abnormal brain development or injury around the time of birth. This project will help identify common brain alterations in preterm children using MRI, as well as the causes and consequences of such abnormalities. Ideally, this research will help health professionals to prevent abnormalities and injury, or to intervene early to reduce the adverse effects of prematurity.
